Need a reason to smile? We feature an inspiring speech in our Steady newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/s…
Seems like today is a perfect day to mention that if you’re on Post, I’m there too. And if you’re not, consider joining the waiting list. I’m optimistic. And when it comes to social media platforms, that’s saying something. post.news/danrather
Texas teachers & students, have you submitted your application for the 2023 Rather Prize? There's a $10,000 prize for the best idea to improve education. Apply now at ratherprize.org. Here are Rather Prize founders @DanRather & @MartinRather with more information.

Excellent post here from @DanRather and @elliotkirschner - give it a moment.

Just sharing this once more for some reason.
I might have as much of a chance of winning the Republican primary for president in 2024 as Mike Pence.
In Florida last night, we saw a return to the moon. We also saw a return to "lunacy".
From our Steady newsletter in August: steady.substack.com/p/republicans-…
Republicans in Disarray?

NPR brings the context. Good for them. 👏
BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024. n.pr/3THqnJM

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something unpleasant after a period of relief.
To teachers and students in Texas, I would love to hear your ideas around improving education. Always excited to see the submissions for the Rather Prize. Please spread the word.

A Perilous World

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. Apparently it’s going to Washington.
So the Democrats hold the Senate. In other news, apparently the red wave has crashed against the rocks of reality.
Is the “red wave” the parade of angry faces on Fox News fuming over what went wrong?
With all the Republican blame games about election losses, I haven’t heard many point the finger at Samuel Alito.
Election week's "Reason To Smile" feature in our Steady newsletter features the incomparable Ray Charles and his rendition of “America the Beautiful.” We hope you enjoy.

Veterans Day

Apparently Musk wanted to know if he stood in the middle of 5th Avenue and shot Twitter whether anyone would care.
The mantra “Don’t listen to the pundits and the polls, just vote” seems even more accurate in retrospect.
Thank you for the kind words. Welcome to the Steady community.
I read this while hearing Mr. Rather's voice, dashed with his gravitas and sprinkled with his optimism. a growing sentiment arose: "Be still..." and then I realized the newsletter is called Steady. how fitting ✨ thank you for Steadying 🤝
Some thoughts in advance of tomorrow. steady.substack.com/p/election-day…

Saddened by the passing of longtime friend and CBS News colleague Janet Leissner. She was such a smart, decent person and a terrific professional. A journalist of the first rank and many talents, she was a reporter, writer, producer and Washington Bureau Chief. 1/2

I got the vax, to the max (4 doses). And then the Pax(lovid). I’ve never been so positive about being negative. Wary about rebound infection, but feeling very grateful for science.
